Peach Street sidewalk gap closure
A grant application with Summit Township would fill the sidewalk gap on Peach Street from Wegmans to Chipotle, creating a seven-mile connected corridor from the bayfront to I-90. The township's share is about $134,000 with a $40,000 match budgeted for 2028.
Airport Truck Traffic Damaging Grant Avenue
Candy Horm counted 80 loaded tri-axle trucks an hour on Grant Avenue from airport runway work and asked about road bonds for damage. The board promised to look into it and ask contractors to use a different route.
Bridge preservation funding
The township signed onto a PennDOT grant agreement to preserve the Garries Road and Zimmerly Road bridges over Walnut Creek using $1.34 million in federal funds — no local match required.
CDBG Sidewalk Project and Sidewalk Deferrals
Phase 2 of sidewalk replacement in low-moderate income areas was awarded at $83,105, part of the township's ADA lawsuit settlement obligations.
